There are a great variety of reasons to organize people<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n
<\/span><\/strong>Sometimes it’s to discover something or to<\/em> accomplish something<\/em><\/address>\n
Sometimes it’s to connect people who share their views<\/em>
\nSometimes for people who share a common world from different views…<\/em>
\n(but have remarkably different talents and views)<\/em><\/address>\n
<\/address>\n

If you know of good examples or methods not mentioned here,
\nplease\u00a0post\u00a0comments<\/p>\n

It’s<\/em> Collaborative Work<\/em><\/span> between groups of stakeholders that often “don’t speak the same language”. \u00a0It takes art, patience and a sound method to get them to immerse themselves in the environment of the problem or opportunity that they need each other to respond to as partners.<\/p>\n

They find there’s more to the reality than they thought, and to each other.<\/em>
\n They often find it hard to continually rediscovering their purposes,\u00a0like nature does.<\/em>
\n They can’t achieve their purpose without a successful combined effort.<\/em><\/address>\n

                *Though sadly one must mention Holling and Odum with the footnote, that they both quite overlook that systems begin and end, and the natural mechanisms by which systems do that. \u00a0Among the (then) “unnatural” omissions it seems are…<\/p>\n

                …neglecting that growth is where systems come from,
